Application ined october 19, 191s. serial No. 258,320.

To all whom z' may concern:

Be it known that l, HELEN HIRSHBEIN, a subject of the King of Hungary, my husband having declared his intention to become a citizen of the UnitedStates, a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented anew and Improved Compound Box or Container, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. Y

The inventionrelates Vto cylindrical boxes having a box body provided with an -inserted pasteboard neck and a cover fitting onto the said neck to close the box.V

The object of the invention is to provide anew and improved compound box or container preferably composed of sheet metal and paper and designed for containing medicines, pills, toilet preparations and the like.. Another object is to provide a boxor container which is exceedingly strong and durable in construction and cheap to manufacture. Another object is to permit the boxmaker, to readily, quickly and accurately assemble the parts forming the body and the cover of the box and to fasten such assembled parts together without requiringhighly skilled labor for doing so.

With these and other objects in viewthe invention consists of certain novel features of. construction as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawingsl forming a part of this specication, in

which similar vcharacters ofreference indi- A cate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure ,l is a perspective view of the compound box or container;

Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross section of the same on the line 2-42 of Fig. l; i

Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional plan view 'i stronger than paper oi which such boxes or containers of this .type are usually made. The side 15I is inthe form of a split ring provided at one edge with a liange 16 extending outwardly and having at its inner surface a groove 17 into which lits the edge or marginal portion of a bottom 18 made of paper. It will be noticed that the bottom 18V is of disk shape and can be readily inserte'dv in the oove 17 formed in the'flange 16 on the split ring-shaped side 15.

The cover `11. is constructed similar to the Vbox body 10 and is formed ofa side 20 of sheet metal or similar stiff material lof split ring shape and provided at its upper edge withl an outwardly extending flange 21 provided on'its inner face witha groove 22 into which fits the edge or marginal portion of thev top 23,- preferably made of paper the same a'slthe bottom 18.. The top 23 may be straight or arched or otherwiseshaped and hence l do not limit myself to any particular form given to the top 23. i

ln order to-hold the ends of the side 15 of the box body and theends of the side 20 of the cover locked in abutting relation (see Y Fig. 3) use is made of strips of aper 30 and 31,"of which the strip 30 is Adou led up-over the upper edge of the side 15 and then extends down on the outerH and inner faces of the side l5 with theinner portion 32 terminating at the bottom 18 and with the outer portion 33 extending around the flange 16 onto the under side of the bottom 18, as plainly shown in Fig. 2, and the strip 31 for the cover 11 isY similarly doubled up over the lower edge of the side 20 andthen extends along the inner vand outer vfaces thereof with the inner portion 3 5l of the strip 31 substantially reaching to the under side of the cover23.` The outer portion 36 ofthe strip 31 is passed around the flange 21 Onto the upper surface of thetop 23 of the cover,

as plainly shown in Figs. l and 2. It is understood that the strips 30 and 31 are fastened to the sides 15 and 20 by paste, cement or other adhesive substance to thus provide a closely adherent coating ofpaper for the said metallic body and cover sides 15 and 20. The appearance of the box body 10 and that of the cover 11 is further enhanced by bands L10 and 41 surrounding the outer portions 33 and 36 of the strips 30 and 31, the said bands 40 and 41 being narrower than the said outer portions 33 and 36, and the band 402 has its upper edge terminating a short distance from the upper edge of the box body, and the lower edge of the strip 40 terminates at the flange L16. The strip 41 is similarly arranged on the cover and its lower edge terminates a distance from the lower edge of the side of the cover while the upper edge extends to the beginning of the flange 21. The strips 30 and 31 andthe bands 40 and 41 are preferably of contrasting color to enhance the appearance of the box or container. The portions 32, 83 and 35, 36 preferably overlap at their respective ends and break joint with the jointed ends of the corresponding side 15 or 20 thus hold` ing the sides 15, 2O against accidental opening and with their ends abutting as shown in Fig. 3. It will benoticed that in making the box body 10 or the cover 11 the operator can readily insert the bottom 18 or the top 28 into the corresponding groove 17 or 22 of the flange 16 or 21 whereby the bottom 18 and top 23 are properly centered and are securely held in place. It will further be noticed that the flanges 16 and 21 reinforce and strengthen the sides 15 and 20, at the same time providing the desired outwardly projecting rims at the bottom portion of the box body and the top portion of the cover.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent Y 1 1. A compound box or container composed of sheet metal and paper, comprising a box body and a cover for the same, the said box body and the said cover having metallic split sides provided with? top and bottom edge flanges extending outwardly and provided with inturned portions forming inwardly facing grooves, paper bottoms and tops for. the said box body and cover and having their edges seated in the said grooves, and paper coatings for the said sides and fastening their abutting ends together.

2. A compound box or container composed of sheet metal and paper comprising a box body and a; cover for the same, the said box body and the said cover having metallic split sides provided with flanges extending outwardly and provided on their inner surfaces with grooves, paper bottoms and tops for the said box body and cover and having their edges seated in the said grooves, and paper coatings for the said sides and fastening their abutting ends together, each of the said coatings having the outer portion extended over the correspond ing flange Aand the adjacent portion of the bottom and top, and the said coatings being folded over the free edges of the corresponding sides and extending onto the inner faces thereof.

3. A compound box or container composed of resilient and bendable sheet material and paper-like material comprising a box body and a cover for the same, the said box body and the said cover having split sides of resilient and bendable material provided with flanges extending outwardly and v provided on their inner surfaces with grooves, a paper-like bottom and a paperlike top for the said box body and cover, respectively in the form of disks, and having their edges seated in the said grooves, and coatings for the said sides and fastening their abutting ends together, the said coatings having their ends overlapping and breaking joint with the ends of the corresponding sides.

4. A compound box or container composed of sheet metal and paper, comprising a box body and a cover for the same, the said box body and the said cover having metallic split sides provided with flanges extending outwardly and provided on their inner surfaces with grooves, paper bottoms and tops for the,said box body and cover and having their edges seated in the said grooves, paper coat-ings for the said sides and fastening their abutting ends together, each of the said coatings having the outer portion extended over the corresponding flange and the adj acent portion of the bottom and top, and the said coatings being folded over the free edges of the corresponding sides and extended onto the inner faces thereof, and bands surrounding the outer parts of the said coatings.l
